What Character are you playing?: Vice-President Enoch D. Woodward of the United States of America
What role does your character have in this event?: Vice-President of the United States of America, and Acting Commander-In-Chief.
Why do you want to play that character?: Firstly,
I want to play this event because I imagine it'll be like a Dr. Strangelove type War Room thing, which I adore. Secondly, why I'd like to play the actual character is because on the world map, it explains that New York City was very important in the early stages of what we all know today. I wanted to give there an reason as to why it was chosen to act as the first secured occupied city. I find it would make the most logical sense that some ambitious bureaucrat with authority, and with nobody telling him what to do would want to establish such a autonomous government within New York City, which would explain why despite the city being hit extremely hard by the portal storms, NYC was still the center point of the early occupation..
Have you read everything above, understanding the concept, and haven't just skimmed through it without reading?: Yes.
What is your preferred choice for the Bunker Location?: New York
What is your preferred Bunker Setup from the C-Bunker Imagery and why?:
-5 Military Garrison
-3 Police Garrison
-5 Motorpool
-2 Food Reserves
-3 Weapons Armory
+3 Malfunctioning Equipment
+3 Power Failure
+3 Weather Resistant
+2 Alien Rodents
+1 Rushed Construction
(???) Alien Visitors
My setup is focused purely on
weapons armory,
military &
police garrisons,
motorpools, and
food reserves. I chose
malfunctioning equipment for the express purpose that logistics is extremely poor within this junta, and it is not organized at all, causing many to improvise their weapons, or steal them from citizens or the bodies of other militiamen that have fallen for whatever reason. I then picked
power failure, once again highlighting the improvisation within a portal storm wrecked city, where all communications and power is cut.
Weather resistant was picked for the purpose of the Manhattan Municipal Building serving as an HQ, with an improvised war-room in the bunker where Woodward would be stationed.
Alien rodents for the comical fact that we're in New York City, and
rushed construction to high-light again the improvisation of this ragtag junta.
As for the
alien visitors, that is something I just don't know about, but it seems really cool.
Vice-President Enoch D. Woodward, publicly a fanatic American patriot and beloved Republican bureaucrat, veteran of the USAF and prior Governor of New York State, sworn into Vice-Presidency on the deal that he would never run for President come next election due to his pro-authoritarian and further concerning political views, has taken the role of Acting Commander-In-Chief and Interim-President, declaring a State of Emergency in the State of New York. His tale starts in his Albany office, away from the White House and Washington in up-state New York, there on business matters, where then it hit suddenly. Within hours random alien portal storms hit New York City hard, crippling the local populace. Though, where others saw a trashed City, Woodward saw opportunity. The communications line to Washington was cut, and all in-coming and out-coming lines are dead, even the secret lines. With local military radio lines still operational, he has called for the unification of the New York Guard, New York State Police and the New York Army National Guard to convey at a specific choke-point in the ruins of New York City which would act as a strategic fortified base of operations that's isolated from the mainland. The Manhattan Municipal Building would henceforth be the operational headquarters of the newly established military junta dubbed "New York State Military Governorate", with the plan of operating as an autonomous administrative sector. The Governorate would first attempt to secure Lower Manhattan, creating large armed-checkpoints all over major highways and connectors, as well as evacuating citizens to designated safe-zones within Lower Manhattan. Their forces started to spread even wider as around 30,000 NYPD officers are handed rifles and body-armor as incentives to voluntarily join the junta. Logistically, this operation is extremely messy, however, with solid training and professionalism up the chain of command, they seemed to get the job done in this state of emergency despite the multiple acts of military brutality, war-crimes against civilians etc. etc.!
Woodward's objective is clear. Take advantage of the chaos and use his sway with the public to keep the peace,
by any means necessary.
He is bunkered away inside a secured improvised War Room underneath the Manhattan Municipal Building.
